Default [Q] How can I enable/disable 3G on 2.1 now?

Upgraded to 2.1 and first impressions are rubbish!

Why get rid of the enable/disable Data from the dragdown bar. How do I do this on 2.1?

Like this.

Go into settings > Wireless & network > Mobile Networks > Data Traffic.

After selecting / de-selecting that, the option will then appear in the drag-down bar.

The same way you'd do it on 1.6.

But that's not disabling 3G, that's just stopping apps from using your credit. To truly disable 3G, you'd have to change network mode to something like GSM, or 2G (I don't get that here in Australia, but I think it might be an option in other countries, I'm just guessing).

And... You'll learn to love 2.1 if you downgrade to 1.6 again, and find that your phone is performing horribly. :P

I use "3G widget" : it works realy good.
You can start / stop 3G manualy or let it turn it automatically on / off when you light up / off the screen.
I don't know why but it put 2 icons in the apps... useless for a widget to even have one when there are no properties to change.
